Google testing new home button designs for Chrome on Android

-
...

Chrome for Android has had a home button since its inception, but only on certain devices. Google started experimenting with allowing all devices to have a home button in April, but the feature is still opt-in. Now it appears Google is experimenting with the button's design.

We've recieved multiple tips that the home button on Chrome Canary and Dev have turned into a minimalist Chrome icon, as seen in the hero image above. However, Chrome Dev (v69.0.3475) and Chrome Canary (v69.0.3480) display a newspaper-like icon on my Google Pixel.

The image at the top of this post is from the same version of Chrome Dev, so Google seems to be experimenting with different designs. If you enable the in-development Chrome Duplex UI, the button returns to a home icon.

In August 2018, Google made a commitment to veterans, military spouses, and service members transitioning to civilian careers. At that time, we announced a job search experience that uses military occupational specialty codes to connect service members and veterans with open jobs that call for skills developed during their time in service. In the months since, we've continued our work to make it even more useful for those who are searching for civilian jobs and the amazing people who support and guide them. People like Kristen Rheinlander, who works as the Transition Site Manager of the USO Pathfinder Program at Fort Hood, Texas. A self-described Army brat whose father served in the military for 25 years, Kristen came to the USO as a volunteer 4 years ago. Today, she heads up a team that works with service members and their families as they prepare for a new challenge: figuring out what comes next. Every new challenge has a first step, and for Kristen, it starts with ...
